Sec. 6303.1  How does BLM carry out administrative and emergency functions?


    As necessary to meet minimum requirements for the administration of 
the wilderness area, BLM may:
    (a) Use, build, or install temporary roads, motor vehicles, 
motorized equipment, mechanical transport, structures or installations, 
and land aircraft, in designated wilderness;
    (b) Prescribe conditions under which other Federal, State, or local 
agencies or their agents may use, build, or install such items to meet 
the minimum requirements for protection and administration of the 
wilderness area, its resources and users;
    (c) Authorize officers, employees, agencies, or agents of the 
Federal, State, and local governments to occupy and use wilderness areas 
to carry out the purposes of the Wilderness Act or other Federal 
statutes; and
    (d) Prescribe measures that may be used in emergencies involving the 
health and safety of persons in the

area, including, but not limited to, the conditions for use of motorized 
equipment, mechanical transport, aircraft, installations, structures, 
rock drills, and fixed anchors. BLM will require any restoration 
activities that we find necessary to be undertaken concurrently with the 
emergency activities or as soon as practicable when the emergency ends.
